8:65 8:30 THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: FRIDAY MORNING MARCH 4. 1887. SHE LIKES AMERICANS. Bernhardt Pleased Best With Our Feminine Public. The greatest of living tragediennes, Mme.

Sarah Bernhardt, was seen in the reception room of her suite at the Arlington yesterdey afternoon by a REPUBLICAN representative. The apartment was filled with the sweet odor of roses from the floral pieces received over the footlights, and a cheery coal fire burned in the grate. Mme. Bernbardt came into the room through eliding doors from an inner chamber, She looked entirely as if she were evident "coming on" for a professional part. It is that Mme.

Bernhardt lives up to the intense and paselonate ideal of the histrionic characters she personates. She bas no separate individunlity from that of the stage. In conversation she speaks with all the vehemence of impassioned ecstacy, and the friendly grasp of her hand, de given with a vivid, fiery glow of muscles tense as steel, thrilling and sincere. of her Washington audience madame said: "It is cold at first, but attentive, giving applause sparingly," but, she believed, "eincerely. The little approval shown felt to be more complimentary than the great enthusiasm of less thoughtful percone.

The Americans are a very good people, intelligent distingnished looking en maese. "I like much to see this country again; the people are faithful. They see a public person and like him very much, and when he comes again they have not forgotten him." "But I please best the American feminine public," said madame, raising her hands and laughing gleefully, "and I prefer that the ladies have enthusiasm for me; the men are cruel." When questioned about her increase of fleeh, the madame said: "I am not so large as I was a few months ago, but my health is better. I do not wish to be any heavier. My health is better now." And, in speaking of her dressing, she said: The dress in the fourth act of "Camille" 18 a very rich toilet, and also that she never wore a corset nor bustle.

to the capital city, madame finds it "trieste," very like Versailles, a most beaubut quiet. Madame wore a loose gown of ruby velvet, the sleeves edged with fur, and a bracelet of pearls, each as large as a canary's egg, with a pendant of four, was upon each arm. She wore a light Persian scarf wound about her throat, and tiny crimson satin slippers on her feet. DONE AT A BAD TIME. What Railroad Officials Think of the Interstate Commerce Law.

years past. A COSTLY STRIKE. The Committe's Report on the Strike in the Southwestern System. The Southern Railroad and Steamship Association reassembled at 12 o'clock yesterday at the National Hotel. The amended agreement, having been printed, was submitted and agreed to.

A meeting of the rate committee was held during the afternoon, they did not complete their labors, and consequently made no report to the convention. Several meetings of the executive committee have been held to consider and report upon the proper construction to be put upon the interstate commerce law, but as yet the committee have not been able to agree upon report. At 10 o'clock this morning the convention will meet again, when expected the rate committee will be ready to submit their report. Much difference of opinion exists among the members of the association as to the interstate commerce bill. Mr.

W. H. Stanford, of the Old Dominion Steamship Company, of New York, referring to it, said to a reporter fondle the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN last night it was extremely unfortunate for the whole country that this bill should have been passed at this time. It is entirely tou sweeping in the changes it proposes, and undertakes to accomplish in a very short time what ought to have been done gradually, within the next five or six years." He thought that it would be at least six months before the law would be in full operation, as that time would be required to enable the commissioners, who are not yet appointed, to become familiar with a subject of such great magnitude and importance, and one which has perplexed and tried the best and most experienced railroad experts in the country for The committee appointed to investigate the strike in the southwestern rallroad system reported yesterday. They find that the laborers had good cause of complaint.

which possibly extended or enlarged the strike. The keeping of the "black list" by the Texas Pacific Railroad Company is s6- verely condemned. d. The committee does not consider that arbitration is an effectual method of settling such difficulties. loss to the strikers in labor alone amounted to $000,000, and that to nonstrikers is estimated at $500,000.

The loss to the company aggregates $2,800,000, and that to the general public must have been millions. Congress and the District. On motion of Senator Vance, House bill for the relief of St. Domiuie's Church to quiet title to certain lands in this city was taken up and passed in the Senate. Senator Palmer tried to get the Senate to consider the House bill to incorporate the Traction Cable Railroad Com any, but failed.

Senator Cockrell's resolution providing for a commission to inquire into the hours of work in the government departments, the adequacy of the clerical forces, the necessity for additional public buildings, and to ascertain the causes of delay in public business in the various departments came up for action, was passed in the Senate. Senator Palmer submitted the conference report upon the Senate bill authorizing the treasurer of the United States to credit the District with certain moneys in lieu of investing the same, which was agreed to. Last night House bills relating to arrears of taxes in the District and to regulate the construction and operation ot elevators within the District were passed.

Mme. Sarah Bernhardt proved last night to the perfect satisfaction of a select and critical audience that, as compared with all other actresses, her "Frou is first--the rest practically nowhere. No matter what amount of skill, labor, and even genius may have been lavished by distinguished American and English women upon the portrayal of this character the true nature of the frivolous, petulant French woman bas found its only complete presentation in the inimitable pilancy and grace of Sarah Bernhardt. The play altogether suffers by comparison with Camille' or "Fedora," but such opportunities as are opened to Gilberte were seized last night with an unfaltering dramatic genius, which we can never expect to see paralleled by any other actress. M.

Garnier, as Sartorys, is by no means so well cast as in the previous performances of the week, but his splended exhibition of reserved force marks him even in this subordipate part as among the greatest actors of his time. M. Angelo, as Brigard, made a masterly exhibition of the conventional French father, and M. Decori, as Valreas, took his lesson in private theatricals with genuine humor. Mile.

Jeanne Malveau is the most effective Louise we remember to have seen, and the audience was frequently moved by the genuine realism of her pathos. The other parts were all well dered. By special request "Adrienne Lecouvreur" will be performed on Saturday evening, mille" and will "Le be Maitre presented at the Saturday matipee, de Forges" (The Forge Master) this evening. HARRIS'S BIJOU THEATER. "The Boy at Scout of the Sierras' was finely presented the Bijou last night.

Old Wallace as Dan O' Reilly and were W. D. Vet, the stage driver, excellent personations. Lois Clark as Mary and Nellie Maskeil as Mrs. Valleo were bighly successful in their assignments, and Mrs.

Charles Howard as Old Bet, the mad queen, produced startling effects by her impassioned acting. Several new and beautiful scenes were produced -from the brush of De La Harpe, of New York. The large audience was entbustastic through the five acts. To-night the "Boy Detective." Wood and on Saturday "Jack Harkawoy." The Company Is a good company, which everybody should visit. BELIEVED AN ACCIDENT.

The Mysterious Shooting of John 0. Smith in New York. Last evening the following dispatch was received in this city from New York: John Condit Smith, a fashionably dressed young man, was shot shortly after 1 o'clock this morning while walking down Madison near Twenty-third street. "A tall man stepped up in front of him and sent a bullet into Smith's left shoulder, inflicting a dangerous wound. mAfter the firing the stranger made his escape.

The wounded man was at once removed to the New York Hospital, where he stated that his relatives lived in Washington and that he was boarding at present at No. 411 Clermond avenue, Brooklyn. He said that sone days ago he received an anouy mous letter from some person in Washingion, which contained a threat that the writer would shoot him, From the inquiries made at the address given in Brooklyn, it was gleaned that young Smith had been boarding there since last October, and that he was a quiet and gentlemanly youth, with no enemies that were known of. Nothing had ever been heard there of Smith receiving a threatening letter. The affair is shrouded in a good deal of mystery.

The landlady of the boarding, house, Mrs. Calkins, and her son, who is A class-mate of young Smith in leghorn's Business College in Brooklyn, were notifled of the shooting at 3 o'clock this morning by A policeman of the fourth precinct station on Vanderbilt avenue. The lady and her son started for the hospital immediately. It was further learned that Smith came home from college yestard4y afternoon at 80'clock, changed his clothes, and left one bour later for New York. He said he was going to meet some friends, but would return home at 11 p.

m. His failure to return at the appointed hour alarmed his friends in Brooklyn. Smith had been in the habit of receiving a number of letters from Washington, where his mother and stepfather reside. In seeking information as to the person shot it was learned that young Smith is a son of the late Gen. John Condit Smith, of Terry Hills, N.

J. His father was chief quartermaster general under Gen. Sherman from the beginning of the war until the opening of the Atlanta campaign. He was then promoted to the position of chief engineer of the military railroads, and was located at Savannah. Subsequently Gen.

Smith married a sister of the wife of Associate Jastice Stephen J. Field. One year after the marriage the general died, leaving several sons and daughters, who are now living in this city with their stepmother at No. 23 First street northeast. Last night Associate Justice Field was seen at his residence, 21 First street east.

and he stated that be had received a dispatch from New York giving some particulars of the shooting. The wound was not a dangerous one, being inflicted in the left shoulder. What could have led to the shooting be was unable to state. He and Mrs. Field believed it to be an accident.

The young man did not live here, but he came on a vieit to his stepmother and relatives last Christmas and remained through the holidays. He was very quiet and gentlemanly, and not a person to make enemies. Justice Field said that he did not know of any one in this city ever threatening the young man, and had no suspicions that would point to any one living here. He knew but little about the shooting, and did not believe that it was due to any enemy of the young man as he could not understand how he could have one, knowing as he did his gentlemanly qualities. To-day be expects to receive full particulars of the affair.

Justice Field bowed a reporter of the REPUBLICAN photograph of young Smith, and it presented a handsome face strongly marked with intellectual lines, and one that would fully support the estimate Justice Field placed on him. Mrs. Smith, the stepmother, is much overcome at the news of the shooting, and last night she was unable to be seen. OXFORD NAVAL ACADEMY. Indications That the Institution Will Soon be Closed.

The Maryland Military and Naval Academy at Oxford, lately managed by Maj. B. J. Burgess, of Alexandria, is said to be going down and every day some of the boys leave for home. A number of the students who have 'left say that Maj.

Burgess made money out of the concern and returned to Virginia, where he is now running a store. Not long since he sold out the academy and outfit to Maj. Geo. A. Armes, of this city.

The school started the year with 189 pupils and with good In a few days, the young men say, not more than forty will be there. There were thirteen instructors, but only four or five are now at the institution, their salaries not having been paid. The price Armes paid for his purchase was reported to be $25,000. Maj. Burgess was most industrious in advertising the school.

A ship was procured and instruction in naval tactics was given. Maj. Burgess was trained for awhile in the Virginia Military Institute. He conducted a school in Georgia and has been engaged in several gigantic business enterprises. The present school was started about two years ago and made quite a boom for Oxford--while it lasted.

Gov. Lloyd has appointed a committee to inspect the general discipline and management of the academy. PACKING THEIR TRAPS. Legislators Who Have Done Nothing Going Home. There was a good deal of bustle and confusion in the House yesterday.

The majority of the members were making active preparations for their homeward trip, packing up the many documents and miscellaneous papers that gradually accumulate and block up the desks and rooms of the national legislator. Yes. I'm going home; and I'm glad of It," remarked one of the bright lights of the House. "I'm tired of this farce. I suppose I'm like the mnjority of congressmen; I came here to do a big pile of work and I've done nothing." "Feel bad about it 977 chirped the reporter.

"Not much," was the energetic response. "I've succeeded a as well as most of 'em, if I haven't done anything. Ta-ta." And he was gone, bearing with him an armful of legislation which had "died a- borning." Important Laws Enacted. Quite a number of important bills have been passed by this Congress, many of them of great value as legislation. The following are among the number: The oleomargarine bill, the Dingley shipping bill, the anti-polygamy bill, the presidential succession bill, the electoral count bill, the FitzJohn Porter bill, the Atlantic and Pacific land grant forfeiture bill, the trade dollar bill, the labor arbitration bill, the bill to prohibit aliens, from acquiring land in the United States, the Indian severalty bill, the widows' pension bill, the Mexican pension bill, the national library building bill, the to extend the money order system, the bill to extend the free delivery system, the bill to prohibit the importation of contract labor, and the interstate commerce bill.

Mrs. Thayer bas the best wishes of her many friends in this city for her safe arrival in her distant home and for great success in the new undertaking.

Springtime is on deck, and the fresh water "salts" who navigate furlous Potomac are moving slowly hatchthen ways and in a little while they will be on deck, too. The average boating enthusiast arrives a trifle earlier in the morning and arouses himself and stiffens his muscles by fooling with dumb bells, Indian clubs, and other gymnastic eccentricities. His appetite also is being drawn within rules; he eats "'according to Hoyle," and makes himself miserable by filling his interior with rare beefsteak, stale bread, and a very small modicum of tea.

The health-seducing cigarette is thrown aside, and he gradually accustoms himself to smoking but one cigar a day, while he frequently calls the attention of the non-interested and uninitiated to the remarkably improved condition of his biceps and the more elastic performances of the flexors and extensors. All this to the end that he may distinguish himself some time next summer or fall. The Potomacs had a meeting on day night, when several new members were elected, but they do not expect any markable influx until April or May. They will do no boating of any importance until April, but they may have a crew out the latter part of this month if there is any warm weather. What changes they will make in the personnel of their crews is not known, nor will anything definite be done until their next meeting, April 6, when all the officers and committees will be elected.

The Analostans will have their annual meeting on Saturday night, when officers will be elected and plans for the season marped out. Their float will be out on the river by the end of this month, but until the weather becomes warmer and more settled little or nothing will be done. The Columbias have started in as though they meant business. At their last meeting there were twenty members elected, nineteen being active and one contributing. They bave organized an athletic club, and intend, a8 8000 88 the arrangements are completed, building a club house and laying out the necessary grounds.

This club will, in all probability, put the same crews on the river that were out last season, but there will be no active work done for almost two months. The Washington Canoe Clab's arranzements are further advanced than any of the other organizations. As carly as possible in April two sailing races will come off. These were in last year's programme but, in consequence of unsatisfactory weather, they were postponed. The canoeists are all busy overbauling their canoes, varnishing them, and fitting them snugly for the season.

The regatta committee are making active preparations for their regular festival. There will probably be six races and the majority, perhaps all, will be sailing contests. They have decided to offer 8 prize to the canoe making the best season record and a second prize to the next best. The regatta will be on July 4, and will wind up, weather permitting, with a grand camp fire within easy distance of the city. Cruising will be largely indulged in-in fact, the club is pre-eminently a cruising club-during April and May.

Plane for trips both up and down the river are being matured, and one member, a resident of of Boston, seriously contemplates a cruise from Georgetown to Boston--down the Potomac and the bay, thence through the canal to the Delaware by the side route to Long Island sound, and from thence coast to Boston. The trip WAS made in 1884 by two New York journalists; they suffered shipwreck near Nantucket, but succeeded in finishing the cruise. The club members are havingtheir new canoes made of larger dimensions and greater stowage capacity, retaining, however, the distinctive and advantageous features of the true canoe; they can be beached without injury and slept in, and yet can be paddled in a calm, so that the canoeist invariably "gets there just the same," whether blustering Boreas assists him or not. There has been considerable talk in boating circles as to the regatta of the Virginia Rowing Association. It has hitherto been held at either Richmond, Lynchburg, or of Alexandria, is very anxious that this Fredericksburg.

a The Old Dominion Club, year's contest should take place on the Potomac near their own home. It would probably be good policy for the association to concede this, for the chances are but slim for any of our local crews making entries if the regatta is further away than Alexandria. SCENES AT THE CAPITOL. Immense Crowds Witness Congress in Its Closing Hours. The capitol presented an animated appearance last night.

Thousands of people had gathered from all parts of the city to witness the closing scenes in the life of the Congress. Before the two Houses reassembled after the recess the galleries were packed, and throngs of people, including many ladies, wandered through the corridors from one wing of the building to another in the hope of finding entrance to the legislative balls. In both Senate and House the temperature was almost torrid, and the air very bad, but the vast crowd that filled every seat and even the passageways in the galleries held its place. It was an orderly gathering on the whole, and maintained a decorous quiet except when a bright sally on the floors or the discomfiture of some member anxious to catch the elusive eye of the convulsed it in a burst of applause or merriment. As fast as the spectators relinquished their seats they were filled from the hundreds in waiting at the doors, and it WAS very late at night before there was any appreciable thinning out of the crowd.

Putting In a Fall Days' Work. The President was busily engaged yesterday examining bills awaiting his action. He found time, however, to receive a delegation from the Delaware state legislature, accompanied by Senators Saulsbury and Gray, He sent for Assistant Secretary Fairchild, who was closeted with him some time. This fact gave rise to a rumor that Mr. Fairchild was to be nominated for Secretary ef the Treasury, which formed the burden of the conversation of the clerks in that department.

The nomination not being sent in was looked upon as unfavorable to Mr. Fairchild's appointment, though there are a great many who still believe he will be the man selected for the place. A number of members of Congress called at the white house yesterday, but could not see the F'resident.

In the deficiency bill is included the following paragraph: That the Secretary of War be, and ho 18 hereby, authorized to provide suitable medals which are to be presented to the competitors in the National Drill which is to take place next May, and that the sum of $1,500, or 50 much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated to enable the Secretary of War to procure such medals as in his judgment may be appropriated for the purpose indicated, said medals when made to be turned over to the committee of the National Drill having their disposition in charge. While the bill was temporarily laid aside last night it was distinctly understood that consideration of it would be resumed, and both senators and members expressed the greatest confidence of its ultimate passage. So that if there were any timid ones as to the medals not getting through they can take courage and lay all fear aside. Signed President.

NEW YORK, Mar. stock market was moderately active to-day, and with the exception of a period of weakness in the afternoon, was firm to strong throughout. The interest, however, was monopolized by a few stocks, which were affected by special causes, though the remainder also shared in the improvement.

Base Ball Complaint. EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: I notice by last Sunday's Capital that the management of the League Ball Club located in this city, have decided to charge an admission fee of 15 cents to the seats under the grand stand. In view of the tact that the management shows no disposition other than to bleed its patrons, I as one of them, cannot refrain from entering my protest against such an injustice. My word for It, the management will learn that to do such a thing will not gratify their greed for the almighty dollar; on the contrary, their receipts will be lessened, because those seats have been occupied by a class of patrons who have some self-respect, and will absent themselves rather than pay this extra admission fee, or occupy seats mostly occupied by the an element which lends its presence not from a love of the game itself, but actuated by the same motive which causes our worthy management to increase the admission fee. None but those having money invested in the club have a greater interest in its success than I.

Although I had no season ticket or pass, I did not miss a game or inning played on the homo grounds last season (1886) by the League Club. If Mr. Hewitt and his associates in this corporation would display a willingness to spend their money and strengthen the club, and put a team here that will not repeat the many hippodromes of last season, they will find that it will not be necessary to adopt such unjust and oncalled for means of increasing their receipta; but no, it seems to be the sole aim of the management to get their patrons' sheckles and give nothing, as it were, in return. The team could be strengthened if the management would spend roney to secure players. That money will secure players, I cite what has been accomplished by the New York, Boston, and Pittsburg clubs.

It strikes me that in base ball, as in every branch of business, to make money, money must be expended. In thus giving expression to my feelings on this subject I know that I voice the sentiments of hundreds of base ball patrons of this city. It is hoped that the home management wilt consult their own interests and refrain from inflicting this further Injustice on those upon whom they are dependent. FAIR PLAY, Sudden Attachment for Home Rule. EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: I have noticed what the District press has said about the nomination of Mr.

Trotter and their allusions to home rule in that connection. The facts Star present themselves to mo in this way. The cares but little for the principle of home rule. Indeed it is mainly to the efforts of the Star that the people of this District are today disfranchised. For, years it has treated every movement of the people for suffrage with the utmost contempt and abused and ridiculed the advocates of such a measure.

The Democrats, with few exceptions (the President being office. one), do not want the negro to be eligible to The Republicans in Congress have not much more love for the negro than the Democrats, but cannot afford to alienate his vote. This appears from the fact that as soon as a Democratic negro comes to the front and his success is dependent on their vote they become suddenly attached to the doctrine of home rule. J. H.

C. The Visit Not Authorized. EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN: In your issue of Wednesday you quote from the Baltimore News to the effect that a committee from Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South, of this city, has called upon the Rev.

Dr. Cox asking his return to this city. This must be a mistake, for inquiry among the members of the official body of the church discloses the fact that no committee has been appointed for such purpose, and no one has been authorized any by Judging body to increased make any such request. the official from the membership of the church and the large congregations for the past year, there can be no good reason why the one present has pastor assumed wait not be returned. If any shonld to upon Dr.

Cox and to ask for his transfer to this city, it has been an assumption not warranted by any church authority, the for any pastoral change would meet with disapproval of at least nine-tenths of the present membership of Mount Vernon Place Church.

WUPPERMANN, BOLE AGENT, 51 BROADWAY, N. Y. S.S.S. Superior to Anything. A prominent business man in Wilmington, Del, in speaking of a cure of cancer on himself, writes to the Morning News of that city I can say further that my case is not an isolated one.

A lady, a customer of mine, suffering from a cancerous affection of the nose. She had spent a great deal of money and time running to Philadelphia to consult the best physicians there, but could get but little or no relief. About a year ago I told her of my case, and induced her to try the 8. S. 8.

remedy. She did so, and in a few weeks was much better. but She bad she several operations performed, finally threw all aside the 8. 8. 8., and in two months from that time was thoroughly cured.

Another lady suffering from an abscess on her arm had been doctoring for a long time in this city, Chester, and Philadelphia, but could not get any relief, appareutly. She had fallen away to a mere shadow of her former self, and to could take the scarcely 8. eat or sleep. She commenced duced in S. S.

medicine, but was so reflesh that she had a little stomach trouble at first. She persisted, however, and after the third bottle she declared it had done her more good than anything else she had ever tried. I now understand that she is entirely well, and is loud in her praise of 9. 8. 8.

I believe the Swift Specific Company's blood medicine, the known as 8, 8. 8, in is superior to anything of kind known the market, and can cheertully recommend it to any one suffering from diseases of the skin or blood.
